Ball Bearing I nspection
•
Since the ball bearings are made to extremely c lose toler-
ances, the wear must be judged by feel rather than mea-
surement. Clean each bearing in a high-flash point sol-
vent, dry it (do not spin the bearing while it is dry), and oil
it with engine oil.
•
Spin [A] the bearing by hand to check its condition.
If the bearing [B] is noisy, does not spin smoothly, or has
any rough spots, replace it.
